Leadership Tip
An Inspiring Idea
Serena Williams won the Australia Open
last week against top-seeded
Maria Sharapova. Serena’s inspiration:
a note with her deceased sister’s name
on it, Yetunde. She would look at it in between
games. It was enough to motivate her
to the championship.
Last week I saw two art exhibits about
beauty and inspiration.
Louis Comfort Tiffany was inspired by nature
to create colorful stained glass windows
and unique forms of glass.
American artists living in Paris in the late 19th
century
were inspired by Parisian impressionist painters,
the light of the outdoors and everyday scenes.
“Inspire” means to inhale;
to stimulate; or to motivate.
It comes from “in spirit,”
putting spirit or life into.
What inspires you to
create, accomplish
and bring out your best? How do you add it
to your life? It could come from other people,
a book, beautiful objects, flowers or
a memory of someone special.
Today, notice what
breathes life into you.
You can create an environment and surround
yourself with inspiration.
It will add to the richness of your life.
